289. If we are asleep we see things as a threat. If we are conscious we see things as a challenge and watch X operate on it, which is every second of our existence.
292. When we have a quiet mind, we have inner development that grows naturally. A peaceful mind doesn't want to change anything.
299. Conflict: the difference between what is and the ideal of what I think ought to be.
Tape 4
When we do what is to our advantage instead of what we should we release a tremendous amount of energy. There is no conflict.

From Albuquerque '90
The biggest misconception I have is that I'm a victim. Not just playin it but I really am a VICTIM.

From talk(s)
Life is what is and it's a mystery beyond all comprehension. You can be aware that you are life from there on you have no problems only challenges.
Audience: When I am a joyous being, and over here they are not a joyous being (Dr. Bob: uh huh that's right the woods is full of them) How do you not let them affect you?
Dr. Bob: Well that's whether you want to be a victim or not. Are you a victim of everybody around you? Or are you going on and being pleasant regardless of the other folks. They don't know what they're doing, they're not trying to pull you down. It's mechanical, they've been at it for years and don't know it. I don't see any use of lettin' them get me down, do you? I'm the one it hurts when I get down not them, they're already hurtin'
Audience: I used to say I got my bubble burst.
Dr. Bob: Well that's cause you were a victim. Now let's don't play the victim role, keep our bubbles up & bright, and don't give them to anybody else! In other words, I'm not gonna turn my inner state of being, which is the most valuable thing I have, I'm not gonna turn it over to some jerk, that's down in the dumpies. That's his business. Huh? You got that. I'm not gonna turn it over to to someone goin' 'suh suh suh suh suh suh....' I'm not going to do that, 'cause I'm the one who gets to feeling' miserable, and he's already miserable, so I'm not hating him, not doing anything for him, or her, so let's don't play the victim role, okay? You didn't get your bubble burst, you poked it yourself. Okay?

From Purpose talk,
I met a man the other day that said he had picked as his purpose to be a peacemaker no matter where he was, and he found the biggest activity was to make peace in his own head, which was probably a very worthwhile use of it; but he found there were other places he could be a peacemaker. He could put people at ease around him, so he was a peacemaker, and he found this to be a very delightful purpose. Now he can use this method, this frame of reference, this purpose, whether it's at work, whether he's playing, whether he's just at home with his family, or he's sitting on a commuter train, or whether he's driving on a highway, or whether he's only off by himself with all the noise going on in his head. He can still work at being a peacemaker, so his purpose is to be a peacemaker.
